Paige $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Paige, and I am a current freshman at New York University studying Musical Theatre. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, where I spent about 7 years working with children. I’m a friendly, responsible caregiver with professional nannying and babysitting experience caring for children ages 3 months to 13 years. I’ve worked with families through a nanny agency and private nanny role, where I supervised activities, prepared meals and snacks, maintained clean play spaces, and communicated closely with parents about their children’s needs and progress. I’m creative, organized, and patient, and I love engaging kids through crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play. I’m also reliable, safety-focused, and enjoy creating a warm, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.

Virginia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Virginia, I am a rising sophomore at Villanova University studying psychology on a pre-med track. I am originally from Florida, I graduated from high school in Palm Beach, and I am in Manhattan all summer long. I am available every weekday with lots of flexibility, and would love to be of help by doing child care, pet care, etc. While in high school I babysat very often, I was even apart of a local nannying company. I am great with kids of all age ranges, infants to elementary school age—who might just need someone to hang out while parents are away! I am also an avid cook and baker, so I can provide those services. Additionally I have worked in hotel housekeeping so open to helping with apartment upkeep!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
